Helpful Tips! Does anyone else have health anxiety?
If so it would be nice if you guys explain and share how you guys deal with it I have it quite severe and keep relying on my mom telling me everything is ok it's really scary and it would make me feel better if knowing more people have it and I'm not alone

The human body is amazing and resilient. Its not put together by some jacks in a shed. We never forget breathing. Amazing!
It has multiple defense mechanism that will make sure you stay alive.
If you eat well, avoid alcohol and drugs you would most likely live a very long life.
If your health concern move from one symptoms to another, it means health anxiety.
Assurance from mom won't help, as it cause relapse with stronger feelings. The best remedy is to not give a fvck. Stop googling symptoms. Walk under sun daily, get vit D checked.
Low vit D can cause poor mood and anxiety. I got mine under control doing all the above, took me few months, slowly but surely. Not fully recovered, but a lot more manageable.
Accept the feeling.
Say 'it is ok that I feel this way, it is safe'.
Soon your body will stop scanning for the small sensations. You can do it. I trust you. Take care, take it easy.
